A disturbing number of gaians have sleeping problems.

This isn't a fact new to me, but as I too fall victim to this unsettling large group, I wonder exactly why.

I've felt very sick lately and worried - a sure reason to not sleep.
But I CAN sleep. I feel so tired, but I only sleep for about an hour and a half - two hours max. Then I'm up, but still dead tired.

Here it's five in the morning and I'm losing my mind. I slept two to four, and couldn't sleep last night either.

I keep thinking and dreaming about the things I need to do, anxieties about my health and weight, and stuff I want to resolve with my relationships.

Normally my girlfriend calms me down at night. I know it's silly, but she has to put me to bed so to speak for me to actually rest. It's almost motherly.
I turn on music with beats heavier than the lyrics and light inscense to focus on breathing slowly and calm.

Other days, I work out so hard I collapse and can rest all night out of pure exhaustion.

I'm an insomniac. I am supposed to take melatonin but if I do, it makes me twice as tired in the morning. If i fall asleep at all it's with the TV on and at the VERY earliest after 1 am. I'm tired right now.
